    It's how DL pronounces program. I have spelled it here progr'm

    The first time I heard it pronounced that way was when HC Jerry Green was at Oregon. I think he’s from North Carolina.

  2. I didn’t see that. Was it kind of like Graves’ dust up with the Arizona coach? Competitiveness will jump up and bite you now and again. With one inning to go vs Oklahoma State it looks like Texas is advancing to the WCWS championship series if they can beat the Okies once more tonight.

  3. Long ago, Oregon’s official colors were lime green & lemon yellow, about when we were Webfoots, not Ducks.  Those strictly adhered to colors made striking uniforms, not like the pedestrian green & yellow combos we see today.

     

    Is it so difficult to come up with those exact colors today? I recently called Prince Pucklers and asked why they no longer served lemon custard ice cream and the lady said they lost the starter - whatever that is. Maybe we lost the starter for lime green & lemon yellow uniforms.

  4. At seven, I remember sitting on the living room floor in front of a huge radio listening to Walker’s Mustangs beat Van Brocklin and the Ducks in the Cotton Bowl. I think it was close, something like 13-7, but could be off on that.

     

    SMU had another great player on that team - Kyle Rote.

     

    Sorry this is kind of OT.

  5. My grade school was just across the street from Hayward Field. After class, a few of us would go over to their practices and they’d let us help move dummies around, do errands etc. Every day,  Norm Van Brocklin would come over and make us tell what we learned in school that day, or we’d have to leave. 
     

    How could someone NOT be a fan after all that!
